    It will take a score of around 22 to make the money most likely. That really depends on Louisville though If Louisiville doesn't cover, then you can take 2 points off of that total.

    Basically you need to win at least 4 out of your 5 three star games to have a chance. Sure someone could go 10-0 in their other games, but not likely. There will be numerous guys who get 12-15 points from their three unit plays if Louisville covers

    It also helps the field if Georgia State doesn't cover. For some reason a lot of guys liked Georgia State today

    brooks85 has a duplicated pick (214 Utah St) and ThaddeusB has one too (247 Texas Tech). I suppose the fair thing is discard the 1 unit play.

    Another question: 77 entries recorded, who were the 3 guys that did'n place picks?

    Correct, the larger will count, and the dupe will count as a loss.

    One way to do it is getting close enough to hedge a little. You could potentially even do it with the WV/Az St game if you are on top of things

    Great work Ivy.

    Is there any way you can make 2 columns?

    List the other column as "Remaining Possible Points"

    1st Column: Score

    2nd Column: Remaining Possible Points

    I think a year or two ago... they did this during the last few bowl games remaining.

    I was kicking ass until Utah State lost today.

    But I haven't lost a 3 unit play yet. If anyone loses 2 three unit plays then the are out

    24-6 can't be be in the running heading into the final? Earlier in the thread you said 22.

    I think PO was just saying in theory once 2 3* lose... you really don't have a shot at placing. During the last few years.... I don't recall anyone who lost 2 3* who placed. So in theory... you're out. I think that's all he meant by that.

    It will more than likely take 21-22 points to guarantee yourself a place/prize.

    The total points gained is kind of meaningless without also considering the total points lost.

    Only 6 entries have a 3* win without any losses.

    I forgot about the last "4 point" game. That's a tournament changer right there. Depending on who wins 4 points and loses.... that's the ultimate swing.

    If you can get 21-22 points before the last game. You're looking pretty good.

    not really cause everyone else will get 4 points also. or half of everyone. you could only catch people who pick something different so you really will not jump many places.

    So, 21-22 points before the last game isn't good enough to place?

    22 is solid for sure Im just saying dont think like your 4 points will help that much, in fact you could hit it and it not help you at all, or very little.

    True. I think in prior contests the top 10 point leaders... 65-70% were on the same team last game. So... you don't really leap frog anyone... but you need it to place.

    Only 13/80 remaining with at least one win without any losses (2 more have no decisions yet).

    Louisville/a&m is a huge game for everyone. If a&m wins it'll put a dent in almost half the entries
